The New Jersey Coastal Management Office
is pleased to provide the approved New Jersey Coastal Management Program
Assessment and Strategy. In accordance with the Federal Coastal Zone
Management Act, New Jersey reviews its Coastal Management Program every
five years and provides a strategy for program enhancements in nine
areas. The enhancement areas are aquaculture, coastal hazards, coastal
wetlands, cumulative and secondary impacts, energy and government facility
siting, marine debris, ocean resources, public access, and special
area management planning.
Determination of New Jersey's priority needs is made in full consultation
with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) with
due consideration of public comments. The priority rankings contained
in the Coastal Management Program Assessment and Strategy reflect that
consultation. Strategies for FY 2006 - 2010 were developed for enhancement
areas ranked high and for which the Coastal Management Program expects
to employ NOAA Section 309 funds. The New Jersey Coastal Management
Program Strategies for FY 2006 - 2010 are included in this document
following their respective enhancement area Assessments.
